Adventures with Mom and Dad

Over Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to get out and have some adventures.  The weather was unseasonally nice and because we were staying at Nana's we were already in the Salt Lake neighborhood.  So we decided to visit Wheeler Farm and let Eli have a little outside time.  It was so much fun!  We wandered and looked at animals and "tromped" in the dirt.  A perfect day for a little man!

Our Pony Friend

Bundled up Watching the Pony

Goat Friend who liked the taste of Eli's glove

Eli wanted to share something besides his glove with the goat so he threw his spoon at him.  Um... pretty sure the sign said "Don't Feed the Animals" ... even with a spoon!  We tried, but couldn't get the dang thing out.  Sorry, Goat Friend! Don't eat the plastic!

Yep, it's hard to drive a tractor with your hat over your eyes!

Dad!  There's something wrong with this thing!
Come take a look under the hood with me!

Here, mom, I'll push the stroller!

One of his few words: "Duck!"

Later on we headed to This is the Place Heritage Park, but Eli fell asleep on the way.  So we just kept driving up Emigration Canyon.  Wow!  What a beautiful canyon!  I can't believe how many houses are up there!  I'm sure the pioneers never thought to stop in the canyon instead of the valley.  Maybe they should have - it's nice up there!  When Eli did wake up we stopped at Ruth's Diner and had the BEST Macoroni and Cheese EVER!!!  Eli thought he had died and gone to cheesy heaven.  Oh boy!  We're definitely going to be visiting Ruth's again.  With Eli awake and our tummy's full of carbs and cheese, we stopped at the This is the Place park and did a little walking around (good for the digestion I hear) and a little train riding (good for the resting after the walking around).  What a fabulous and fun adventure!
